Ukraine's Ministry of Social Policy issued a revised draft resolution for the Cabinet of Ministers of the Ukraine specifying the annual official list of 2018 non-working public holidays in the Ukraine, which amends its previous decision to postpone working days in 2018, in order to create favorable conditions for the rational use of working time.

That draft announcement of the official list of 2018 non-working public holidays in the Ukraine, however, did not include the new December 25 public holiday in the Ukraine bill 5496, voted and sent to the Ukrainian President for ratification (16-Nov-2017 and 28-Mar-2017) the week before, and since then signed by Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko (29-Nov-2017), thus changing the list of official annual non-working public holidays in the Ukraine (Article 73 of the Labour Code of the Ukraine).
